[Verse 1]
I was raised on a main street where everyone knows your name
Clear skies and late nights, hangin' out at football games
Yeah, lookin' back
I was born and I was raised like that
[Verse 2]
I was raised where a man's words as firm as his handshake
Where everybody cussed the flood but always prayed for rain
Yeah, lookin' back
I was born and I was raised like that
[Chorus]
I was raised up on Friday nights, sneakin' in to small town bars
Raised up on country song, singin' out 'bout broken hearts
Raised up on forty acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I wouldn't be who I am right now if I wasn't raised like that
[Post-Chorus]
(No)
I was raised like
I was raisеd like
I was raised like that (Oh)
I was raisеd like
I was raised like
I was raised like that
[Verse 3]
I was raised by a good man who showed me wrong from right
How to work hard, and change a flat, and be thankful for this life
And always give back
Yeah, I was born and I was raised like that
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
Raised up on Friday nights, sneakin' in to small town bars
Raised up on country song, singin' out 'bout broken hearts
Raised up on forty acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I wouldn't be who I am right now if I wasn't raised like that
[Post-Chorus]
(No)
I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that (Oh)
I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that
[Bridge]
I was taught life ain't simple
But you ain't alone
I was shown what is love
In this place I call home
So for all of these lessons
I count my blessings I was
[Chorus]
Raised up on Friday nights, sneakin' in to small town bars
Raised up on country song, singin' out 'bout broken hearts
Raised up on forty acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I wouldn't be who I am right now if I wasn't raised like that
No
Raised up on Friday nights, sneakin' in to small town bars
Raised up on country song, singin' out 'bout broken hearts
Raised up on 40 acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I wouldn't be who I am right now if I wasn't raised like that
[Post-Chorus]
(No)
I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that (Oh)
I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that
RAISED LIKE THAT was written by James Johnston.
RAISED LIKE THAT was produced by Justin Wantz.
James Johnston released RAISED LIKE THAT on Fri Jul 09 2021.
I wanted to write a song that introduces me to the world. Every time I start a festival set, I start with ‘RAISED LIKE THAT’, because it tells the story of who I am. And I wanted to open the record with that. That’s the start of a chapter and then it goes into all the other stories.
